UrbanCyclers: Digital platform for boosting cycling in your city

CYCLING GENERATES HUGE BENEFITS BOTH FOR INDIVIDUALS AND CITIES. ACCORDING TO AN AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT STUDY 1, A SINGLE 20-MINUTE URBAN BICYCLE RIDE GENERATES AROUND €4 OF TOTAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS. ALTHOUGH IN MOST CITIES, THE PERCENTAGE OF REGULAR CYCLISTS IS STILL RELATIVELY LOW, STUDIES SHOW THAT UP TO 60% OF CITY RESIDENTS WOULD BE WILLING TO CYCLE UNDER SUITABLE CONDITIONS 2. TO BOOST THE NUMBER OF CYCLISTS, CITIES NEED TO MAKE CYCLING EASIER AND MOTIVATE THEIR CITIZENS TO SWITCH TO BIKE
AS THEIR MEANS OF TRANSPORT.

UrbanCyclers off er a smart, modern approach to achieve these goals. Leveraging technological innovation and behavioural psychology, UrbanCyclers provide next-generation tools your city needs to understand, facilitate and promote cycling. As
a fully digital platform comprised of mobile and cloud-based applications, UrbanCyclers perfectly complement traditional tools for promoting light, sustainable mobility. UrbanCyclers is provided fully as a service and can be launched rapidly with
minimum requirements on a city’s internal resources.

: Collect and analyse data about cycling

With UrbanCyclers, your city gets the information it needs to make right decisions about cycling policies and infrastructure investments. UrbanCyclers collect and analyse diverse, large data sets, including user-recorded GPS trajectories and crowdsourced issue reports. The analyses produced by UrbanCyclers enable cities to understand who cycles in your city, from where to where citizens cycle and which routes they take as well as which issues citizens face while cycling and how critical they are.

: Provide citizens with accurate cycling information

Eliminate the fear of unknown that stops your citizens from cycling in your city. Leveraging the power of big data and artifi cial intelligence, UrbanCyclers apps deliver personalized advice on how and where to cycle in your city, including the use of bike
sharing and intermodality with public transport. From specialized cycling maps, through safety-optimized turn-by-turn navigation to a unique urban cycling coach, UrbanCyclers help your citizens cycle in a safe and enjoyable way.

: Promote cycling through engaging campaigns

UrbanCyclers leverage psychological principles of behaviour change and proven gamification techniques to get more people cycling more. Combine a variety of motivation tools – including badges, challenges and competitions – to build engaging campaigns your citizens will love. Personalized, interactive and social, campaigns delivered through UrbanCyclers mobile apps are more effective and less expensive that campaigns delivered through traditional channels.

: Get started rapidly

In contrast with complex infrastructure development projects which take years to complete, UrbanCyclers can be launched in your city in several weeks and with minimum technical and human resource on the side of the city. UrbanCyclers are provided fully as a service, with all software and data updates, maintenance and hosting fully taken care by us.
